QuickLink

What is QuickLink?

The QuickLink object is the core object for defining custom Dashboard links. It specifies everything from the text to display, to the grouping category under which it should be listed, to the action to take when it is clicked. 

# action 

• external: navigate to the specified URL – an external website(requires URL attribute in attributes map to be set to indicate the desired external web address) 

• workflow: launch the specified workflow (requires workflow name attribute in 

the attributes map to be set to indicate which workflow to launch) 

• The value of a <from-outcome> within a <navigation-case> object inside the 

WEB-INF/faces-config.xml file: navigate to that IdentityIQ UI page.
